Art by Chip Ghigna
Acrylic on wood, 24" x 30"


Fruit of the Moon Tree

The full moon, an orange,
The half moon, a lemon wedge,
The quarter moon, a banana
Balanced on its edge.

The harvest moon, a pumpkin,
The new moon, just a slice;
Come see the moon fruit glowing
In October's paradise.

    Like your Keane quote: "If food and shelter give us life, the arts give us something to live for."
